+The common areas are great, especially the free ping pong table and pool table in the bar. The bar has good quality cheap food and drinks and a nice social atmosphere. There’s a lot of outdoor space to sit during the day and for eating meals. Big bathrooms with plenty of stalls and showers and they were decently clean the whole time we were there. Close to the airport meant it’s easy to get to, but it’s a little far from town. Luckily they offer free bike hires which we used several times to get around
−The rooms are extremely basic, we stayed in a private room which was just a bed in cinder block walls. Given the low price we didn’t mind it too much, but compared to other hostels where you get a kitchenette, sink or other furniture it felt a bit neglected in comparison. The cleaners would also come to do the bathrooms at 7/8am when everyone is getting ready for the day which is a bit annoying. Also, when the hostel is full the kitchen is so extremely busy you have to wait a long time to cook, and the place gets very dirty.

+Sus amenidades son excelentes, el staff muy atento y el hostal en general es buen hospedaje, no está tan cerca del malecón pero hay un bus que te lleva y trae, te dan varias opciones para usar transporte :)
−Los baños en las habitaciones están muy chicos y tal vez pocos para la cantidad de personas
